Student paper by Jonathon Comuzzi

Excerpt:

“This paper examines the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Calls to Action as a method of redress for residential school survivors, and the progress the Canadian government has made on selected Calls to Action. More specifically, this paper focuses on current and future actions the Canadian government, along with the Church, can take to initiate redress of the genocide of Indigenous Canadians. There is not one fix-all step, nor is there a dollar amount. Instead, there are – at a minimum – the 94 Calls to Action constructed and developed as methods of redress by Indigenous community members and leaders. While not all 94 Calls to Action will be covered, this paper will address a collection of Calls that have been implemented or can be implemented in order to advance redress.”
